Looking for a simple DDE client

[antiseptic]

I just want a simple, basic, no frills DDE client. I have no need for historical data. Something I can use with Excel to get real time data.

I tried googling, but the best I could find was either Think or Swim or Iqlink. Neither are optimal. ToS is too resource intensive and Iqlink is too expensive for what I need.

What are you trading? I trade futures and recently switched to CTS as I also needed a simple DDE client too.
InteractiveBrokers has DDE too (and does everything).
I briefly tried Sierra for the Spreadsheet functionality but it is not as powerful as Excel.

Equities.

I can't get DDE to work with Interactive Brokers because it gives me an error and the fix on their website didn't fix it. Plus, I kind of want to close my account with them. Thanks for the suggestion.
